Reconsider before getting Tats of Chinese Symbols .

Disgruntled Chinese Tattoo Artists Get Revenge


Pitt junior Brandon Smith wanted a tattoo that proclaimed his manliness, so he decided to get the Chinese characters for “strength” and “honor” on his chest. After 20 minutes under the needle of local tattoo artist Andy Sakai, he emerged with the symbol for “small penis” embedded in his flesh.



Above: Symbols on the back of a Pitt student inked by Sakai (inset) were originally meant to say “princess.”
They really say “prostitute.”


“I had it for months before I knew what it really meant,” Smith said.

“Then I went jogging through the Carnegie Mellon campus and a group of Asian kids started laughing and calling me ‘Shorty.’ That’s when I knew something was up.”

Sakai, an award-winning tattoo artist, was tired of seeing sacred Japanese words, symbols of his heritage, inked on random white people. So he used their blissful ignorance to make an everlasting statement. Any time acustomer came to Sakai’s home studio wanting Japanese tattooed on them, he modified it into a profane word or phrase.

“All these preppy sorority girls and suburban rich boys think they’re so cool ‘cause they have a tattoo with Japanese characters. But it doesn’t mean shit to them!” Sakai said. “The dumbasses don’t even realize that I’ve written ‘slut’ or ‘pervert’ on their skin!”

In the last month, seven people unknowingly received explicit tattoos from the disgruntled artist. Kerri Baker, a Carlow College freshman, paid $50 to have the symbols for “beautiful goddess” etched above her belly button, but when she went into Szechuan Express Asian Noodle Shop sporting a bare midriff, the giggling employees explained to her that the tattoo really said, “Insert General Tso’s Chicken Here!”

“I don’t even like General Tso’s!” Baker sobbed. “I’m a vegetarian!”

Sakai doesn’t feel guilty about using hapless college students as canvases for his graffiti.

“I think I’m helping my fellow man by labeling all the stupid people in the world,” he explained. “It’s not a crime, it’s a public service.”



This tat proclaims " I fuck my dog ! "

So Kid's the moral here is if you should so choose to get a foreign symbol tattooed on your body, you should look up the symbol YOURSELF first, and then bring a printout of it to the tattoo place to say "I want exactly this."

I don't know the legitness of this article...

I'm chinese, japanese basically use the same characters.

I've also studied japanese...

Eitherway, that "this tatoo says i fuck my dog" really just says dragon....

Sounds fake. The "I'm a vegetarian" quote is bullshit. No one would say that.

I totally believe this. They deserve it too.
Chineese/Japaneese lettering is such a stupid fad. What's the point in getting something "profound" and "mystical" embedded onto your skin, if it means precisely DICK to you?

It works the other way too.

That's bullshit. 1) Massive lawsuits would ensue. 2) The dockfucker tattoo is actually "Long" meaning Dragon. I researched that for a beer label not long ago.

OTOH, I may yet buy a "baka gaijin" (Dumb Foreigner) or "Dirty White Devil" T from jlist.com. Funny stuff there.

The article is true, I think the "I fuck my dog" thing is just a joke by marcopolo because it wasn't on any of the other sites which contained the article.
